Recent research suggests that up to 48% of men and 43% of women in the UK could be obese by 2030, adding an additional £1.9 billion per year in medical costs for obesity-related diseases such as cardiovascular issues, diabetes and various cancers if current trends are to continue[4]. The growing diabesity epidemic is also testament to the growing health risks attached to obesity, as estimates suggest that by 2025 over four million people in the UK will have diabetes and in most cases Type 2 diabetes, one of the reasons being the rapidly rising numbers of individuals who are overweight and/or obese.

The economic impact of obesity and excess weight gain in the UK is just as severe: UK’s obesity rate costs the National Health Service a staggering £4 billion a year.[5]With talk of there being a double-dip in the UK economy, if housebound patients as a result of obesity and excess weight-gain were to have corrective surgery and return to work, this could give the UK’s economy a £1.8bn boost.

This is echoed by Prime Minister David Cameron’s recent proposal to introduce the “Fat Tax” in Britain to foods with over 2.3 per cent saturated fat.
